At HEX Innovate, I created end-user manuals for the GS-911 diagnostic tool and ezCAN accessory manager, and produced more than 200 educational videos for both products. I also took overall responsibility for a technical and aesthetic overhaul of the hexezcan.com product website.

At Claroty, I produced training materials for technical courses and built a solo SCORM-based examination to replace the practical Cybersecurity Analyst exam. I also conducted remote training for customers and partners.

At Fluidmesh Networks, I created XML technical documentation and training materials, and coordinated the transition from MS Word documents to Paligo and later to Oxygen XML Editor and Adobe Experience Manager. I also create technical articles as a pro bono technical writer.
